Plowing Snow Fernie Style!


So this is the way it is done in Fernie! First they plow down both sides and create a massive snowbank in the middle of the road and then usually by the end of the day they come back and scoop the snow into trucks and cart it away. Not great if you need to make a turn off the main street but still my favorite scene!












More pics to come as it is puking this morning again!

Getting the shovel out!
















Old School Snow Valley Pow!


Wow, back to the good old days! For those of you new to Fernie, this place used to be called Snow Valley! It became Fernie Alpine Resort in 1997. Let it snow!
